Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, 1985
34. Security for abstaining from commission
of offence.
(1) Whenever any person is convicted of an offence punishable
under any provision of Chapter IV and the court convicting him is of opinion
that it is necessary to require such person to execute a bond for abstaining
from the commission of any offence under this Act, the court may, at the time
of passing sentence on such person, order him to execute a bond for a sum
proportionate to his means, with or without sureties, for abstaining from
commission of any offence under Chapter IV during such period not exceeding
three years as it think fit to fix.
(2) The bond shall be in such form as may be prescribed by the
Central Government and the provisions of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973,
shall, in so far as they are applicable, apply to all matters connected with
such bond as if it were a bond to keep the peace ordered to be executed under
section 106 of that Code.
(3) If the conviction is set aside on appeal or otherwise, the
bond so executed shall become void.
(4) An order under this section may also be made by an appellate
court or by the High Court or Sessions Judge when exercising the powers of
revision.
